“Part prayer, part community, part self-discovery. Meredith’s prompts are rich, her capacity to hold space and honor each unique soul’s journey is extraordinary. She sheds light, humor, fierceness, and wisdom through a computer screen! (which is no small feat).
I recommend this deep dive into self.”
~Ellis McNichol, eco-poet

I Wish You
I Wish You

I wish you the cool clean whiteness of shells,
the sacredness of bones,
the memory of flight that leaves its signature in the feather.

Say Yes
Say Yes

Language was a song she sang
while she rode her bike
up and down the hill
a melody tattooed its signature
across her shoulders

Ghosts whisper as the door creaks closed and the red moon rises and the long snake stretches her back as you ride her curves, learning your own center.

Losing My Innocence ~ Love’s Forge

In the forge of my will, I melt myself down. In the white hot heat of hurt, the last embers of survival roll over in surrender.

Summer's End
Summer's End

I felt the first pang of summer’s end, the way the darkness begins to outshine the light.

Burning Man

Surrender to the dust
all day and all night
the white witch
sugars my skin
